Darkside Smart Menu

About the Darkside MenuThe Menu was created to help improve navigation to important game features, as well as to aid you by offering important alerts for ingame features. It is located on the Home page, just above your Combat Feed.

Why the Menu is SmartWhile the common use of the menu will be to improve your navigation, the menu is also capable of bringing you important information on the fly. The buttons in the Menu can provide up to four different functions (sometimes in combination) depending on the relevance.

The different functions:

A simple, direct link to quickly access a Darkside feature

A visual indicator notifying you of a currently chosen option

A visual alert to notify you of a pending important action

A hover-activated tooltip holding important information

Note that hovering over a button will give you a clear, easy to read description of the button’s purpose, regardless of alert or indication status. This is true even with accessing a tooltip.
